View Track Storms Through First Meet ByErikaTimm The scene was bleak. Black sky, howling winds; even the stray dogs were calling it quits and heading for the garbage dumpsters. But the Mountain View Track and Field team doesn't even know the word, quit. Tuesday's track meet was the season opener for the team against cross town rivals Timpview. The meet opened with Becky Perry winning the 110 High Hurdles, her specialty, in a time of 17:14 to dust off ' Timpview's Gret Hanson and Tammy Clyde who finished 2nd and 3rd.

Good physical fitness may help reduce the risk of mental and emotional stress in adults, according ac-cording to new research by Larry Tucker of the Health Promotion program in BYU's Department of Physical Education-Sports. Tucker's study tested more than 4,000 adults employed at 35 corporations in the United States. Subjects completed a questionnaire question-naire that asked for demographic and lifestyle information. Tucker also measured their body fat percentage per-centage and their physical fitness through a step test and a skinfold caliper test. His subjects also completed a psychological inventory that measured their perceptions of workload, anxiety, depression, family problems and work pressures. pres-sures. As his subjects' physical fitness fit-ness increased, Tucker found, the level of mental and emotional stress decreased significantly, suggesting a moderate, systematic sys-tematic relationship between fitness fit-ness and effective stress management. manage-ment. Only 10.8 percent of the adults with good physical fitness reported psychological distress, compared with 13.3 percent of those with average levels of fitness fit-ness and 15.5 percent of the poorly poor-ly fit, he said.
